Rsearch Around The World


I chose the Early Childhood Australia website, some of the current research topics on the website are health and nutrition, practice and learning series for early childhood education in Australia.

Some surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood that I gained form exploring the international website about Australia: Early childhood in Australia has been around since 1938, it advocates to ensure quality, social justice, and equity in all issues relating to the education and care of children between the ages of birth to eight years. Every young child is thriving and learning is the ECA’s vision. Australia future prosperity is linked to the collective investments that we make in all of our children’s development and the reason is when programs are improved; services that help children to be healthy and to receive a good education benefit everyone in the long run. The website has helpful information for parents like health and wellbeing info that consist of recipes, posters and safety tips.

I also found other information I found was interesting and that was the learning hub. I clicked on there to see what it was about and I saw it had educator’s resources some were free online courses while some have to be paid in order to take courses. The start early course tells how everyday behavior and attitudes shape a child’s relationship over their lifetime. ECA has a blog that is helpful as well and newsletters that have various information inside.

  1. Hi, Monica
    I can see why you chose this website. It is rewarding to connect with any organization that advocates fro both children and their parents. It is also, encouraging to know that other professionals around the world can share and learn from each other whether it be through the use of websites or other medias.
    Thanks again for sharing the vision of Early Childhood Australia and their comment to child development.

  2. Monica,
    I love the idea that in Australia they focus on health and nutrition which is a great part of learning. You can't teach a child that is hungry or is not healthy. It all falls under learning. I see you found the learning hub to be a great resource. Did you see how the ECA advocates for young children? Great post!
